FOREWARNING: There are 58 (I think) thumbnails below so the blog posting could take awhile to load.

Here’s my original posting from this morning for Philip Markoff – a.k.a. the craigslist killer – and Megan McAllister…

https://bcclist.com/2009/04/21/craigslist-killer-megan-philipcom-removed/

At the time, I was trying to get to work super early and could only put up one screenshot.

As you’ll see, some of the 58 screen grabs are boring but some are pretty darn interesting.  The images should open in a new tab so you don’t have to go back and forth between pages. You may have to do some left clicking once the images load in the new tab so that they show in their largest/most readable form.

A rare midworkday posting…

Update 2: Why did Phil need money so bad?  The site had a honeymoon poll (again, more screenshots tonight) and there was an option to vote for Mohegan Sun Resort.  Seriously – a casino in Connecticut for a honeymoon?  Yeah, yeah – he was in med school so they were broke.  The poll even indicated they would take a real honeymoon in 8 years.  But, a casino in Connecticut made the list of 4?  Gambling problem? We’ll see…

Update 3: Unbelievable…

http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D97N0EVO0&show_article=1

“Prosecutors say they traced an e-mail address used to set up an appointment with masseuse Julissa Brisman of New York City to Markoff, who was on his way to Foxwoods Casino in Connecticut with his fiancee when he was arrested…

Dude could have always reached out to Gamblers Anonymous.  I wonder if Rounders was his favorite movie?  The house always wins, Phil!

Side note: Without being said, Megan should definitely consider going to Gam-Anon should Phil be convicted and if gambling losses are considered a motive for the robberies/killing.

Ouch – the wedding website for Megan McAllister and Philip Markoff:

www.megan-philip.com

The site has been yanked but I managed to get screen grabs of each page early this morning. Below is a screenshot of the homepage – more to come (update: click here for all 58 screenshots from their wedding website) when I get back in front of my home PC tonight…

Update 1: Here are all of the screen grabs I captured from www.megan-philip.com before the site was taken down early this morning:

Update 2: Here’s Megan not yet facing reality:

http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20090421/Craigslist_fiancee_090421/20090421?hub=World

Innocent until proven guilty but IP Addresses are like DNA – they don’t lie. I hope she can get through this difficult time in her life. Fortunately she’s still young and wasn’t harmed.

Update 3: Why did Phil need money so bad? The site had a honeymoon poll (again, more screenshots tonight) and there was an option to vote for Mohegan Sun Resort.

Update 5 (from 4/22/2009): If Phil ends up being the Craigslist Killer, maybe the motive is more than a “simple” gambling problem…

http://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=7398011&page=1

Gavin and Brenda, thank you.

Update 6 (from 4/23): Markoff supporters put up Facebook Group named “Phil Markoff is Innocent Until Proven Guilty”…

http://www.boston.com/news/local/breaking_news/2009/04/markoff_support.html

I’m speechless. Great use of social networking, guys! Errrr.

Angela, thank you.

Update 7 (from 4/24): Gun Matches Bullets in Craigslist Murder Case…

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/25/us/25boston.html?ref=us

Markoff’s defense team is going to have to pull of a OJ Simpson dream team~esque performance. Wow, the pressure on the BPD investigators must be pretty intense about right now.

Update 8 (from 4/25): Philip Markoff tells family “forget about me.”

Maryanna, thank you.

Update 9 (from 4/27): Philip Markoff solicited sex from men and transsexuals on craigslist via email address sexaddict5385@yahoo.com. Shiat keeps getting weirder and weirder. Wow…

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/04/27/philip-markoff-alleged-cr_n_191753.html

Tina-Bee, thank you.

Update 10 (from 4/30): Craiglist killer’s fiancée (Megan McAllister) visits jail not wearing engagement ring – aka Megan has ended the engagement with Philip.

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/ny_crime/2009/04/30/2009-04-30_fiancee_visits_craigslist_markoff_without_ring.html

Maryl, thank you.

Update 11 (from 6/22/2009): Dude is smarter than I thought.  Looks like Philip Markoff used prepaid cellphones and anonymous email addresses.  It’s a shame he (reportedly) wasn’t smart enough to hide the victims’ panties and/or the murder weapon better.

http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D98VRJC80&show_article=1

Update 12 (from 8/15/2010): Philip Markoff finally killed himself. Suicide by pen to artery and plastic bag for suffocation is what’s reported. Rot in peace…

Update 13 (from 8/17/2010): The suicide was way more elaborate than originally reported. Check out the details here…

Don’t forget to check out the comments — most from 2009 & 2010 — below!

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2009/04/20/cheney-i-dont-think-weve-got-much-to-apologize-for/

Well, it was only a matter of time before the gop would play the “President Obama is making the United States seem weak” card.  Of course this sounds bad, but, the only thing that can save this crumbling political party is a terrorist attack.  I can see it now – “See, we told you so…”

Side note: When is Cheney going to realize he’s a former VICE PRESIDENT and not a former political pundit?

I went to the store solely on a mission to find a snack and nearly picked up a 12 pack of doughnuts.  Then I read the box, looked down, and wondered if I needed to be any softer.  The only branding that could have been worse would be Entenmann’s Fat Ass Doughnuts.  Yeah, yeah – I know Entenmann’s is trying to convince the consumer their doughnuts are soft.  FAIL!

Are companies – e.g. Tropicana’s nightmare generic brand looking packaging  – no longer using focus groups?!?!?!?  I’m for hire.  Well, part-time hire.

Like the pictures of Uday and Qusay Hussein’s dead bodies, I wonder if the government will release pictures of the killed pirates.

Regardless, if I were the pirates, I would have negotiated a fake pirate killing scenario in return of the Maersk Alabama’s captain.  Or,  maybe pull off the fake killings and offer the youngest for prosecution since it will be difficult for the US Justice Department to be overly harsh with a 16 year old.  There’s no way we spared the pirates’ lives, announce that the pirates were killed by snipers, and then slap the 16 year old on the wrist, right?  No way…

Also, I wonder why “terrorists” don’t start kidnapping and water boarding Americans.  Such a videotape would be more effective than the same old beheadings.  Fortunately, kidnappings have decreased significantly over the past 5ish years.

It looks like if I put less work/current event stalking into BccList.com because I’m swamped, the blog’s traffic remarkably increases.  Monday = 160 ish visitors.  Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday = 240+ visitors a day.

Is a 3 day traffic spike – compared to previous 3 days – a good or bad thing since only horribly boring content has been added over the last 72+ hours? Errrr….

I’d say the resemblances are uncanny.

No, not just because they’re white.  Or, wear hoodies.  Or, are seemingly the same age.

Or, …

Song – though not the official video for “I Love College”:

There’s nothing to talk about – again – other than Barry bowing to a king.  But, that’s a good thing!  Thank god we have a real president.

Question:  Which new political party is going to spring up and replace the gop?  Some party absolutely must keep the dems in check or things could get out of control.  But, unlike the gop, this new party can’t have outdated values revolving around the following:

• Guns
• Religion
• Tax cuts for corporations and/or the wealthy

Side note:  I watched hannity for the first time last night.  It was really surreal.  His followers have to be the same people that were scared of microwaves and computers when they rose to consumer fame.  But, for the time being, I guess there’s still a following.  These whack jobs are so weird…

I guess it’s good that nothing’s going on in the world except for some seemingly easy to avoid/solve piracy off the coast of Africa…

“An apology is due – until today, Digg’s search has been pretty terrible. I’m really excited to announce that our search no longer sucks. In fact, I think it’s awfully good but you should try it out and judge for yourself.

Our primary focus is to give you the best possible stories at the top of the results right away. The first thing you’ll notice is an improved user interface but don’t let that fool you, there are significant improvements under the hood. We weight searches on a number of factors including timeliness, Digg counts, keywords, and others.”

I’m counting down the days until Apple switches carriers.  The below screenshot (see: top left hand corner of screenshot) is from my morning commute into work today.  This  is DEFINITELY something I get to see daily…
